His flow is delicious; his lyricism is perfect for those who seek something interesting and alarmingly significant in this world where everything seems to have morphed into an unbearable piece of half-retarded quips about loving strippers and wanting to by drinks for random chicks

No one really cares about Hip-hop anymore! Strong words for an unknown Internet reviewer such as myself, to utter I'll admit. But It's become old, dull and uninspiring on many levels. Turntableism?
